Etcheverry announced as Defensive Coordinator (finally)

Mike Scheper to coach the D-Line, Nelson Martin to coach the DBs.

 

No LB coach, OL coach or QB coach announced yet ... which leads me to believe that's probably where the hold up has been terms of announcing names.

  • Or maybe you shouldn't just talk out of your ass. You said there was a lack of experience, you're completely 100% wrong about that, it's just that the experience isn't great.    What you're doing he

  • Well it's not surprising some of you are underwhelmed, considering the over/under stance some of youze take., but I don't understand why there has to be an overwhelming factor. Looks to me we'll have

About time- the suspense was killing me.

Call me confused but I thought they had announced this months ago lol.

I hope Wylie is the next announcement

Not sure this staff is shaping up as a catalogue of hall of fame coaches. Again too many guys with limited CFL experience.

I could find quite a few ways to criticize our coaching staff but I'm not sure that a lack of CFL experience would be one of them.

 

On offense, our OC has 5 years experience as a CFL OC, our WR coach has 3 years as a CFL WR coach and our short list for OL coach includes very experienced candidates.

On the defensive side of the ball, our DC has 6 years experience as a CFL DC, our DB coach has 4 years as a CFL DB coach and our DL coach has 2 years as a CFL DL coach. That's quite a bit of experience for those positions.

The least experience comes on ST, where our HC has a good amount of experience.

I guess you simply equate years on the job with quality. A group of ping balls, nomads and castoffs. Set your standards for measuring a resume a little higher.

I would think this staff has more Canadian Football experience than we have seen in a very long time.

Pretty underwhelming.

No, I equate years experience with years experience which is what you were commenting on.

I repeat set your standards higher. Is better than recently a good indication of having constructed a good staff? Again this is staff is a reflection of a dismantled organizations inability to attract both FAs and coaches.

A couple of glorified GAs isn't necessarily "experience"

So in summation, you actually didn't bother to read what I wrote.

I guess not.

I would advise you go back to the part where I wrote "I could find quite a few ways to criticize our coaching staff but I'm not sure that a lack of CFL experience would be one of them."

 

As in ... I don't think it's a great staff, but it's not because of their lack of job experience.

The last time these three got together was in 2009-10 with the Riders.  They went to the Grey Cup two years in a row, John Chick and Stevie Baggs were 1-2 in the league in sacks ('09), James Patrick had 9 interceptions in one season ('10), and Barrin Simpson led the league in tackles ('10).

 

We could do a lot worse.

I hate that we're already blackballing the coaching staff that O'Shea/Walters have chosen as "underwhelming."  Put the right guys in the right scheme, and you'll have yourself an effective defense, regardless of whether the DC is a young up-and-comer, an experienced vet with a good reputation, or as we like to call them "retreads."

 

Seriously... do we have any better chance of winning a GC with an Etch defence, a Marshall defence, or an upshot like Steinauer?  It depends entirely on their personnel and their fit in the scheme.  Be underwhelmed if they suck in October.  Not Febtober.

What you're doing here is trying to move the goal posts. You'd be better off just admitting that you were wrong on your comment and then move on. 

I guess you simply equate years on the job with quality. A group of ping balls, nomads and castoffs. Set your standards for measuring a resume a little higher.

And what qualifications do you have to measure their respective quality?

Mike Scheper to coach the D-Line, Nelson Martin to coach the DBs.

i'm guessing they are waiting for Cooper Harris for the LB coach,

either Wylie or Himebauch for the OL caoch

 

any names for the QB coach ?

I was wrong.....so was Rick Campbell, Rich Stubler and the other FA players that declined to join in the celebratory parade of champions. As to my qualifications to evaluate ? If I told you I would have to......

wishful thinking. I'd love to see Dieter on the Winnipeg sidelines again.

Gotta love bomber fans.. Even tho every guy on the list has had some form of success, gotta hang on the negative nutsack..

So typical. Howsabout we play wait and see, just once.. Underwhelmed or not..
